Police arrested a Toledo couple in connection with a brazen robbery Sunday at a Beaverton Fred Meyer.

Fred Meyer security teams reported seeing two a man and woman place multiple items into a cart and then exit the store without purchasing them. When a store security guard contacted the woman, later identified as 21-year-old Heather Cadwell, she abandoned the cart in front of the store and walked away, said Mike Rowe, a spokesman for Beaverton Police.

The man, later identified as 25-year-old Kenneth Garrett, confronted the security guard and threatened him with a pair of brass knuckles.

They were stopped a short distance away and arrested. Beaverton police found brass knuckles inside the vehicle.

Garrett was charged with first-degree theft, unlawful use of a weapon, menacing and first-degree robbery, because he allegedly used a weapon during a theft. Cadwell was charged with first-degree theft.
